CLAREM0NT I
THE BEAUTIFUL.

The newspapers are the enligbtcning In
fuence of this age, the greatest age the
world has ever experienced. They state
that the STIR of Bethlehem is about to ap-
pear. They also state that CLAREMoNT Is
the BEAUTIFUL homesite of all the town-sites
The old subject for discussion IN the ly-
ceum OF our boyhood. was, (which Is the
greatest power, fire or wateI?" The artesisn
belt, of which CLAREMoNT is the great cen
ter, was then unknown-could the early set
tier of the great Mississippi River Valley
have known-but twas left for this age, the
CLAREMoNT AGE," to open up the crystal
fountains. Not by miles OF poor iron pipe, ,but
clear sparkling water pouring forth its liquid
wealth from the depths of the earth. en-

The early Christians sang. "Could II but
stand where Moses stood and view the land

heard of sweet CLAREMoNr. or they would
not have referred to Moses. The eye had
not seen, the ear had not heard OF the WIS.,

King Humbert.

King Humbert of Italy, according
to an American Register correspondent,
is known for his temperance in all
things, except in that of smoking. 1t
has often been noticed what an exceed
ingly small eater the King has shown
himself on all occasions, and as 70
drink, his guests may have it in plenty,
but his favorite ''tipple'' is water. His
one great weakness was Qor it is a
thing of the past, good cigar. He was
formidable smoker but he abused
his tastes in that line to such an extent
that he has taken a new departure and
''sworn off, from the fragrant weed.
His nerves had begun to suffer, he had
asthmatic turns, and could sleep but
little, and then had to be propped up
by plenty of pillows. Some weeks ago
his physician told him what was the
matter, and King Humbert said:
From this day forth will not smoke
another cigar, or anything in the
shape of tobacco. His majesty has
kept his word, and the result has been
a most noticeble improvement in his
health. King Humbert is man OF
iron will, and no one doubts that he
will keep his self made pledge.

Tho Destructive Power OF Torpedoes.

Tho Destructive Power Of Torpedoes.
The destructive power of torpedoes
was recently illustrated in the Re-
sistance experiments; but no exact
account of their action has yet been
published, as far as we know, Of their
use in actual warfare. Although the
destruction of the Chinese corvet Yang
Wo during the fight between the
French and Chinese at Foochow has
almost been forgotten. no authentic re-
port Of the encounter has ever reached
US. The account just given of the
humiliation of the Chinese vessel by a
close eyewitness is therefore doub bly,
interesting. The writer says that the
French flagship had two torpedo BID ats
attached to her at the gangways. The
ship was about 800 yards below the
Yang Wo. AS soon as the firing COM
menced, both boats attacked the Chinese
vessel. The first one fired her torpedo
directly under the Yang Wo's after
gangway-starboard side. No damage
whatever was done to the ship; but the
officer in charge of the torpedo-boat
was wounded in the chest by the return
action of the torpedo. The other had
in the meantime attacked the ship for
ward, little abaft the cathead, on tho
same side. This torpedo was in direct
contact with the ship. The effect was
that, when the torpedo exploded, it
penetrated the fore magazine, or rather
the fire from it did. This blew up, and
the whole forward part of the ship was
demolished. This all happened within
three minutes. The remainder of the
wreck drifted ashore, and burned fol-
several days. Thu Yang Wo was a
wooden corvet of fourteen guns. The
torpedoes used were booms-contact
ones-Ir07a.

Not q Good Day For Ducks.

In 1860, the year before the war,
party Of Northern Illinois hunters HE'D
themselves to the lakes sof Minnesota
for an annual duck hunt for a few
weeks, making tho journey to St. Paul,
which was at that time little more than
a frontier village, by steamer from
Dubuque, L.. Among the party was
q CHAP named Truax, a powerful liar,
but q jolly, good-natured fellow withal,
whose predominant weakness was
readily excused, if not entirely over
looked, by those who knew him we'll.
Abe, that being his first name,
seemed to struggle more recklessly
and naturally with the truth when
when talking about his prowess as a
hunter of game than on any other SUBJ
ject. One day, as the steamer was
ploughing its way through lake Pepin,
number of the male passengers we're
seated forward on the boiler deck in
little knots passing the time away in
conversation. Abe was prominent
figure in one of the groups and had
already astonished himself fairly by the
whoppers he had successfully got off,
when the mission of duck hunting, the
mission which himself and friends
were out on, was adverted to.
1--WE shot few ducks in my time, ~
broke in Abe, during a momentary lull
in the talk.
'How many did you ever kill in one
day?' queried a cross-eyed passenger
from down about Burlington.
lyon may not believe me SIR" re-
piled Truax, ''but in the late fall of 81
went out alone one morning about
seven miles with my dog and gun and
brought home 200 ducks by actual
count, and it wasn'ta very good day
for ducks, either?''
"You did that all alone in one trip?'
asked the cross-eyed man as he put
down some figures on an envelope with
a pencil he had carelessly taken from
his vest-pocket.
Yes, sir, did, said Truax, with a
tinge of ill-humor to his tone.
''Those ducks would weigh about
two and half pounds apiece, wouldn't
they?" casually remarked the Burling-
ton man. as he kept on making char.
acters with his pencil.
Il shouldsay they would" remark.
ed the unsuspecting Abe.
"Well, then,' said the persistent
querist, ''you killed just $50 pounds Of
ducks; and if you can tell me how one
man was able to lug that weight sever
miles, and carry gun at the same time
you can do something that no Other
liar in the Northwest can match.'
Abe reflected q minute, and with
.'That' s awhopper, ism t it, gentlemen?
he invited the whole party into the bal
to take something at his expense.
The remark, land it wasn't good
day for ducks, either,' was used ban.
